Snowdonia Stock Footage - 32 EPIC 4K Cloud Inversion Timelapses (Pack 315)

This collection offers 1 hour, 55 minutes, 31 seconds of unparalleled 4K UHD landscape footage captured on tripods from high up on Y Foel Goch in the Glyderau range of Snowdonia Natioanl Park. This pack is the visual proof of a two-year wait for the perfect conditions: a dramatic cloud inversion where low cloud sits all around below the summits, engulfing the Ogwen Valley and Snowdonia beyond, while the peaks rise into clear skies above.

This pack features 115 clips focused on creating mood, majesty, and realism. It includes a couple of extremely long clips, such as an awe-inspiring 22-minute morning shot of Tryfan and a 7-minute dawn scene, designed to showcase the majestic scale of the scene and allow for custom timelapsing at any speed.

The footage documents the full journey: starting in the wet, cloudy, and foggy Ogwen Valley with wet foliage, grass, and trails, before breaking through the cloud layer. Highlights include a majestic cloud bow arcing into the cloudy blue sky, the iconic Tryfan summit appearing like a shark fin in a sea of cloud, and the distant summits of Snowdon, Crib Goch, and Y Lliwedd visible as isolated islands. The pack also captures a Brocken Spectre, where the sun projects an enlarged shadow of the observer onto the mist, and beautiful shots of me setting up camp and cooking noodles, all fully model released.

This collection offers 97 clips of simply magnificent 4K UHD drone stock footage, captured during a cloud inversion event that I spent two years waiting for. This is world-class Snowdonia drone stock footage and some of the best ever captured of this phenomenon. The full spectrum of light is here: from clear daytime views to red fiery dusk and dawn scenes.

The perspective is captured high up on Y Foel Goch at the edge of the Glyderau range. Below, a majestic sea of clouds whirls like a bowl of soup, with the rugged mountains protruding like isolated islands. The drone captures this scene across the day:

• Iconic Peaks: The summits of Tryfan (917m), Glyder Fach (994m), Carnedd Dafydd (1044m), Carnedd Llewelyn (1064m), and Pen yr Ole Wen (978m) are all visible above the cloud layer. The Snowdon Massif (including Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon, Crib Goch, and Y Lliwedd) completes the background.

• Cinematic Motion: The low shots capture the top of the cloud layer, emphasising the cloud whipping up like cotton wool or whipped cream, while high views provide crucial establishing shots.

• The Best View: The way Tryfan emerges from the cloud at dusk is something you have to see to believe—arguably the best drone shots of Tryfan ever captured.

• Content Variety: Clips are left minutes long to allow long background plates of this rare phenomenon, and also allow for custom timelapse playback in the edit. The pack also includes intimate tent scenes with the cameraman (me, fully model released) and views of small mountain pools and lakes.

Footage Highlights:

• 97 cinematic 4K UHD drone clips of the cloud inversion over the Glyderau range.

• Features iconic peaks (Tryfan, Snowdon, Crib Goch) rising above a swirling sea of cloud.

The footage captures eerie, ethereal drone shots, highlighting the clouds forming interesting shapes and patterns as they pass through the mountains. Watch Tryfan in fast motion, looking like an armadillo poking up from the sea of cloud. This is a rare natural phenomenon that few get to witness, let alone film with high-end drone gear.
